Seinfeld Criticizes School's Election Day Policy

News summary

Jerry Seinfeld has criticized the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New York City for allowing students to take the day off if they are 'emotionally distressed' by the election results. The school, which charges over $65,000 in annual tuition, plans to provide psychological support and will not assign homework on Election Day. Seinfeld, whose children attended the school, expressed that such measures teach young people to 'buckle' under pressure, prompting him to transfer his younger son to another school. The school defends its decision as creating a 'safe environment' during a high-stakes time, despite backlash from some parents and alumni. The policy remains unchanged despite criticism from Seinfeld and others. The school has also faced internal conflicts over political issues, leading to the resignation of its head Joe Algrant.
